On May 4, 2019, an Ascenta team of 22 volunteers landed in Managua, Nicaragua. We were met there by two of the Peruvian translators who participated in our 2014 campaign to Cotabambas. In Rosita, we joined the same Calibre team as in 2016, and were met by new doctors and nurses, as well as the army for protection. In total the team numbered 101 individuals, our largest team to date. The clinic operated from May 6 to May 12 and offered medical, dental and optometry care, including a pharmacy stocked with medications, vitamins and supplies.

The Ascenta Foundation returned to Riscos de Oro, Nicaragua for its 2016 medical campaign. To see how the campaign progressed each day, please view our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AscentaFoundation/ As in past campaigns, The Ascenta Foundation worked with a Canadian sponsor partner who assisted with in-country logistical planning and execution of the medical clinic. For this campaign, Calibre Mining Corp. again provided us with such support, and joined its partners IAMGold Corporation, Centerra Gold Inc. and B2 Gold Corp. in also providing significant financial contributions to the campaign.

In February, 2013, we traveled to Riscos de Oro, Nicaragua where we used a local school for our clinic, which offered medical, surgical, dental and optometry services, as well as a pharmacy equipped with $30,000 worth of medications, vitamins and supplies.
